Maybe bacon would be a good protein for your cottage cheese????

Well...3 or 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with low blood sugar and started learning about it I started noticing that when I ate something really high in sugars I would start sneezing...sometimes 20 times or more!!! (I had been doing it all along, but didn't notice the connection to sugar until then. I'm a bit slow sometimes.  ) But if I ate a piece of cheese, the sneezing would stop. Then I read in The Low Blood Sugar Handbook (author's name escapes me) that this was a symptom of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). I was glad to know, but had already figured out how to fix it (temporarily anyway) by eating protein to counter-act the affects of the sugar.
By the way...I tried the eating plan in that book and it did not help me...too high carb...it wasn't until doing Atkins that my symptoms completely cleared up. Today was the first day I experienced them since May 2003!
Bacon isn't a bad idea! Thanks. |
